☆ WHY WAVESECURE? ☆

For many of us, our mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets do more than just entertain us with games such as Angry Birds and Paper Toss. We get on Facebook and Twitter for our social interaction. We communicate over Skype or eBuddy. We make payments through PayPal and even do our mobile banking.

We keep many of the important details of our lives on our mobile devices, yet we don’t always think about the importance of mobile security. But if our devices are lost or stolen, we need to back up and secure our personal data and media like photos and videos.

No lifetime subscription Direct from McAfee support: Madhuri B (14:15:10): Yes, the life time account is connected only with initial hand set, I double checked it with the resources. Sorry for the delay, Nik.

Lifetime subscription is not really a lifetime subscription? Was advertised as lifetime subscription but they changed their minds and decided to screw everyone over? If that is the attitude then I won't continue to use, simple,

Lost my account? I performed a factory reset of my device and now after trying to reinstall this app I have to buy a new license. So if my phone is stolen then all they do is perform a factory reset, and insert their own sim. What is the purpose of paying for this app then? It didn't lock my device to block a total purge of user data. Maybe if it was embedded on the rom, but it's just a stupid app purporting to save you from losses it actually can't prevent.

Lifetime Subscription Now Gone Yep, it was a scam. It worked fine until I switched phones, so am here to tell folks that there are lots of great phone security products and I suggest you find one that will keep its promises. $20/year for a broken contract AND for the worst customer service on the planet is simply not worth it.

Crooked app I had a lifetime subscription until McAfee took over and felt the need to screw loyal customers and change the agreed terms. Same problems I had on my computer with McAfee products before I stopped using them. Avoid like the plague unless service is unimportant to you.
